A necessary pit stop before the finale!

Last we saw Ada and Rian, Ada had made off with important technology designed to restore Earth to its former pollution-free glory. Thing is, Ada, and the mysterious group who hired her, knows that this tech comes with a very steep price that’s hidden under benevolence and conservation, and those providing said tech have a more sinister agenda based solely on diabolical greed.

To stop such “progress” Ada’s been hired again to steal another very important item at a fancy schmancy charity event hosted by the corrupt mogul himself.  Thing is, Rian, the man she kinda sorta betrayed in Full Speed to a Crash Landing, has been tasked as head of security, and he knows Ada’s coming.

Not as flashy or fast paced as the first installment, I still enjoyed Ada and Rian’s banter and push/pull. As much as their superficial occupations clash, fundamentally they’re on the same page. They both want to save Earth, but that doesn’t mean they’ll make it easy for the other, and it certainly doesn’t mean that time and space apart has cooled their curiosity nor their attraction.

Again, this served to further lay down the foundation for the end game to come, a race between those who want to save Earth the right way and those that are opportunistic no matter the cost of life as long as it puts more money in their already overflowing coffers. My gut feeling tells me the conclusion will be one intense, conflict ridden, action filled adventure (with a more definitive romance), and I’m all for it when it releases next year!
